MarketWatch reported that data centers heavily rely on debt financing, which has posed challenges for bond markets this year.
The surge in debt issuance related to AI infrastructure overwhelmed investor portfolios and underperformed in returns, according to MarketWatch.
Looking ahead, the need for funding in this sector is expected to increase, with Democrats controlling Congress, which MarketWatch suggests will not alleviate the pressure on debt issuance.
This ongoing trend indicates continued strain on bond markets as data center operators seek capital to support AI growth.
